Water pollution by phenolic compounds is considered a primary environmental concern. The
adsorption of phenol on iron-modified clay and its mechanism were evaluated in this study …

The performance of biophotovoltaics (BPVs) having clay separators modified with 10, 15,
and 20% of Fuller's earth-material (FEM) to improve the cation exchange capacity was …

Tar yield, as a basic evaluation index of tar-rich coal, is unclear to be affected by the
depositional environment. In this work, the vertical variations in tar yield, macerals, and …

Barite is a non-metallic mineral which is simply barium sulfate (BaSO 4) and is largely used
by the oil and gas industry as a weighting agent in drilling mud during drilling operations …

In this investigation, a hybrid-biocomposite “ZnO-Bentonite/Chitosan” was synthesized using
inexpensive and environmentally friendly materials (Bentonitechitosan) and (ZnO). It was …

Clay materials are widely used in sheet-type platforms with peculiar characteristics and
diverse applications. However, due to some disadvantages—such as weak mechanical …

The present study in this article is designed firstly for a physicochemical and mineralogical
characterization of a clay mineral from the Meknes region. The natural clay was first crushed …

The adsorbent muscovite mineral clay was used to remove the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CPx)
from the aqueous media. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffractometry …
